Micro Drone Antenna Perfection

For micro drones like TinyWhoops, we’ve perfected the ultimate antenna configuration that delivers:

✔ Flawless indoor penetration
✔ Lightweight performance (under 2g)
✔ Crash-resistant durability
✔ Seamless mixing of linear and circular polarization

The ProDrone.pl Micro Drone Special:

Drone Side:
TinyVee HD Lite

  • Ultra-light 1.5g linear antenna
  • Flexible IPEX connection survives crashes
  • Perfectly tuned for 5.8GHz video

Goggles Side:
Dual-Antenna Professional Setup

  1. Pagoda PRO (3dBi RHCP)
    • Provides reliable omnidirectional coverage
    • Catches signal during complex maneuvers
  2. CrossAir v3 Xtreem (10dBi RHCP)
    • Directional boost for extended range
    • 120° beamwidth maintains situational awareness

“This combination gives micro drone pilots the best of both worlds – lightweight durability on the drone with professional-grade reception on the goggles.”

Why This Setup Works So Well

  1. Strategic Polarization Mixing
    • The linear TinyVee pairs perfectly with RHCP goggles antennas
    • Only 3dB theoretical loss (acceptable for short-range micro flying)
    • Actually improves performance in reflective indoor environments
  2. Intelligent Diversity
    • CrossAir grabs strong directional signal
    • Pagoda ensures 360° backup coverage
    • Automatic switching maintains clearest video feed
  3. Proven Compatibility
    • Works flawlessly with:
      • BetaFPV Meteor/Cetus series
      • Happymodel Mobula6/7/8
      • EMAX TinyHawk models
      • Eachine Novice/Cinema whoops

Setup Tips for Micro Drone Masters

  1. Positioning Matters
    • Mount TinyVee vertically on drone for optimal polarization alignment
    • Angle CrossAir slightly upward (15°) for better indoor penetration
  2. Channel Selection
    • Use lower 5.8GHz channels (E1-E4) for better wall penetration
    • Higher channels (E7-E8) for cleaner signal in open spaces
  3. Maintenance
    • Regularly check TinyVee’s IPEX connection
    • Keep Pagoda PRO clean from dust and debris
